Be nicer on the road, Jersey drivers

I cannot believe how rude New Jersey drivers are today. No one uses their blinkers, they flip you the bird for any reason and tailgate all the time.

I am so sick of this that I came up with a game to make New Jersey a better and safer place to drive: The object is to get at least three hand-waves a day from other motorists after doing a good deed. For example, letting someone into traffic or allowing someone to go ahead of you.

Let’s face it, a lot of people think they are owed this respect and will not wave. But you get a half-point anyway. To get three is wonderful. And the prize is this: You probably made someone happy and you made the roads a bit safer. Come on, let’s do it.

P.S. Always make sure your nice gesture does not put other motorists at risk.
